A black TV meteorologist who was fired from her work has accused her former bosses of racial discrimination against her and her colleagues.
Ashley Brown Elliott, 43, was released from her role at Indiana Station Wish TV last week after more than six years.
She claimed that it came after she was asked to stop wearing certain colors while she was in the broadcast, reports the Indianapolis Star.
Other black employees were told that they had to remove their dreadlocks or told them that they were 'too winding', Brown Elliott claimed.
In the post now removed, she also claimed that the station had fired eight black women in the last two years.
Wish-TV is owned by Circle City Broadcasting, led by Indianapolis Native Dujuan McCoy, who has made a lot of his position as Black Media Executive.
McCoy has recommended the meaning of the first African-American leader of a station affiliated with FOX in the country.
However, the allegations of Brown Elliott and her former colleagues prevent this position.

Last year, former news anchor April Simpson brought a lawsuit in which it was claimed that she had been released from her role after questioning an alleged unequal reward between male and female presenters.
Simpson, who is black, claims that she has paid the same $ 95,000 salary as two more junior male colleagues with less coveted slots.
In the court case, which was established outside the court, Simpson claimed that she had sent little explanation two months after the investigation.
Two days later she received a letter stating that she was fired because she was not to take feedback on board, to look faintly on the camera, struggle with the teleprompter and not adapt to digital media.
Simpson accused Circle City broadcast of violating equality laws based on sex, race and disability, because her difficulties were due to blindness in its left eye caused by a brain tumor, according to the archives.
Brown Elliott hesitated to comment on the situation when it was contacted by the Indy Star in case it endangers future work perspectives.
The woman and mother graduated from the North Central High School before going to Ball State University.
She worked in the radio prior to TV and moved to California to get her start in the prediction.
Dailymail.com has contacted City Circle Broadcasting and Brown Elliott for comment.
